New York is pizza city. The only thing better than eating pizza in NYC? Eating pizza in NYC for charity.

Slice Out Hunger is a community of pizza lovers who’ve raised more than $250,000 to fund hunger relief efforts around the US since 2009. Food donated by independent pizzerias has allowed them to raise that money.

Their first pizza party featured about fifty pizzas from half a dozen pizzerias in NYC and raised about $500. Fast-forward to their last major event – they raised $50,000 in just three hours, featuring 1,500 pizzas from over 50 of the best pizzerias in New York City.
